Version 7.0.1 has now been released. This version is a patch release that introduces a number of bug fixes since the last release. Upgrading is suggested due to fixes to the 6 regressions in version 7.0.0.

To upgrade follow the steps in your website's http://mybaseurl/upgrader.php script. You will need to copy the URL of the attached TAR file (created via the form below) during step 3.

Your upgrade to version 7.0.1

You can generate an upgrader from any version of ocPortal to any other version. If you access this upgrade post via the version information box on your Admin Zone front page then we'll automatically know what version you're running.
If you'd prefer though you can enter in your version number right here:

7.0 list of upgrades

- The main_content/main_multi_content block can now operate without 'add' or 'archive' links if you turn them off via a new block option

I tried to apply this and wanted to let you know that the option is there for main_content block but not for main_multi_content block. I even tried pasting the no_links code into an existing main_multi_content block and it didn't have any effect.

Are fixes immediately rolled into the current version? For instance, if I were to upgrade to 7.0.1 today, would the above fixes be included or do I need to search out any patches made since 7.0.1 was released?

Bob, I believe that fixes like above are rolled into the main software but will only be available in the next patch version they release. When they release a version, it stands as it is, without modification, until you see the next release announced.

Chris, thank you for the above fixes. With the upgrade to 7.0 and 7.0.1, I see a new issue in the member profile page. Since this might be a universal issue, I'm sharing here rather than as a private bug support ticket. (If these things should only be submitted as a bug support ticket, let me know.)

The breadcrumbs are running into the member name, shown in the attachment. This occurs at any screen width. Looks like the template for member profile needs to move down at bit. I looked at some long breadcrumbs in other areas of the site like image gallery and those are still functioning okay (member's gallery name is pushed below the breadcrumb).
